After four birthday cakes (that last one I didn't actually get bc we had to leave the venue right away), I think it's time for me to say my closing remarks. This is going to be a little teary so man up please. Thank you.
I was a lot worried for this year and a part of me just wanted to get it over with.
2016 was great. I remember getting ready for that day and hitting Resorts World for dinner. And then the next day at work, my co-workers threw me a mini party. My Mom and my brother was around to buy me the cake and whatever comes with a little "handa". All my Dad did was show up, which was pretty easy, but he showed up anyway. Although my Grandmother wasn't around, it still felt complete.
However this year, I knew it was going to be different. I thought I was going to be emotional and cry all night, but gladly I didn't. It didn't feel like I was completely alone in a hotel room, even though I really was. That's because I was preoccupied. My friends were literally with me when the clock hit exactly 12mn March 14. When I reached my room, I was already tired to ponder. And then the same group of friends accompanied me until 12mn the day after. The day went by so quickly I barely noticed.
My friends are the best friends ever. Entering law school I thought I'd only find terror professors, but instead I also found the best people you could ever meet. People that wouldn't let you off by yourself. People that would come to your birthday even though they're coming from the north (and south). People who dressed up for me. People who stayed up late for me. People who constantly greeted me.
Since I held my party in advance, and they already surprised me with a cake that almost didn't make it inside the club, I didn't think they'd provide me with another surprise. But they did. The presents and the cake and the birthday songs all came together and it really really really touched me.
I am happy to hear the drunk stories, the post-hyped version of my friends the day after my party. I feel so honored.
It was amazing.
It was beyond what I expected.
And I couldn't ask for a better one.
Thank you so much.
